# Estimates & Invoices: Quick Start

> Send quotes and bills to customers without duplicate data entry, since one shared record layout covers both estimates and invoices from any starting point.

Once you've added customers, scheduled and set up some jobs, you're now ready to create your first estimate or invoice! Regardless of the record type, you will follow the same process.

You can create an estimate or invoice multiple ways. The most common methods include:

1. From a Customer Record.

2. From the *Estimates* or *Invoices* tab in the left-side menu.

3. From a Job Record.
